Rabies vaccine
I have stepped on the food eaten by dog with my foot wearing a keto sandal. My foot was not bare foot. Beside my rabies vaccine schedule was on going due to my previous exposure. I have taken three doses on 0,3,7 th day. 2 dose are remained on 14 and 28 th days. After taking three dose these incident was happened. Which I have described at first. Now my question is that due to
stepping this food eaten by dog with
my foot covered by keto sandal is there any chance to occur rabies? Beside my rabies vaccine schedule is on going. One more question is that for this incident should I start a new course of rabies vaccine or continue the same schedule?

U dnt need to do anything for the "stepping on dog-eaten food"
There is no history of transmission of rabies by such manner.
Health Tips
always wash the area which has come in contact with animals (if u dnt know the vaccination status of the animal) immediately with plenty of fluids and soap.
thats all.
if bitten then immediately consult a physician
